PUNE HOSPITAL INCIDENT

Citizens start survey on hosp billing practices after Pune incident

"In the context of the Pune case, we wanted to document people's voices and experiences with private and charity trust-run hospitals across the country,"said Dr Shukla. The responses over two days indicate that 98% of the respondents want the state govt to regulate rates in private hospitals. Efforts were made to introduce capping of rates at private hospitals in one of the earlier drafts of the Maharashtra Clinical Establishments Act 2014.
